Editor's Note: This story has been updated with tour dates. Thrash innovators Slayer have been going strong since 1981, and their shows have always reliably been just about the most fun place to get punched in the head. It’s hard to picture the band hanging it up, especially after they survived the 2013 death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman. But the band now claims that they’re just about done. In a new video, the band has announced “one, final world tour,” with “final North American dates coming soon.” Here’s the video, which is full of archival images: Slayer announced that they will be joined on the outing by Anthrax, Testament, Lamb of God and Behemoth on the tour, which kicks off on May 10 in San Diego. A day after announcing the final lap, the group released the official list of dates.
